In this paper, the steady-state temperature of a sample 500 KW two rotor one stator Non-slotted axial flux permanent magnet motor is calculated using the finite element simulator software package. Due to the high temperature in various parts of the machine, especially at stator winding, a cooling system is designed for the motor and the temperature is recalculated. The results show that the tem...

This paper presents a fuzzy logic controller for brushless direct current (BLDC) permanent magnet motor drives. Initially a fuzzy logic controller is developed using MATLAB Fuzzy-Logic Toolbox and then inserted into the Simulink model. The dynamic characteristics of the brushless DC motor such as speed, torque, current and voltage of the inverter components are observed and analyzed using the d...

In classical control of brushless dc motors, flux distribution is assumed trapezoidal and fed current is controlled rectangular to obtain a desired constant torque. However, in reality this assumption may not be correct due to nonuniformity of magnetic materials and design trade-offs. These factors together with current controller limitation, can lead to an undesirable torqueripple. Hence torqu...

This paper presents an inside-out axial-flux permanentmagnet brushless DC motor optimized by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) that uses sizing equation. The double-sided slotted-stator designed TORUS motor has sinusoidal back EMF waveform and maximum power density. The GA obtained the dimensions that gave the motor its highest power density. Field analysis of the dimensi...
